<H1>European Parliament takes first encouraging steps toward regulating embodied
carbon </H1>
<P>Today the European Parliament held two votes concerning embodied carbon:
First, the ITRE committee voted on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive
(EPBD), second, the ENVI committee voted on its opinion on the Construction
Products Regulation (CPR). Both votes represent steps forward on embodied
carbon, though the EPBD is tainted by other provisions that risk undermining its
climate objectives. </P>
